  • Action
    The firm, GE Healthcare, sent an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter dated November 17, 2011 to its customers. The letter described the Safety Issue, Safety Instructions, Affected Product Details, Product Correction and Contact Information. The customers were instructed to ensure that all potential users in their facility are made aware of this safety notification and the recommended actions; discontinue use of the patient barrier and remove from service (away from patients) if either one the rotating arm locking levers is damaged (does not hold the rotating arm in place when engaged); take extra precautions to hold the patients barrier rotating arm during release of the locking lever and repositioning of the arm and store the rotating arms in the lowest pivot position (down) when not in use. The letter also stated that the patient barrier may continue to be used if the rotating arm locking lever securely holds the rotating arm in place when it is engaged. Additionally, GE Healthcare will modify the rotating arms to restore the residual friction so that the arm will retain position (rather than swing freely) while the locking levers are disengaged. Also, GE will update the product labeling to improve awareness and identify the hazard relative to proper storage.
